The White House claimed that Spain had agreed to militarily cooperate with the US, a statement that was categorically denied by the Spanish government. This clash follows President Trump's announcement of a cut in trade relations with Spain, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who emphasized a clear opposition to war and recalled the negative legacy of the Iraq invasion. Sánchez criticized Trump's approach and reaffirmed Spain's commitment to diplomatic solutions, while also addressing the implications of US trade policies and military expectations on NATO allies.
